Can't link it but he said it.

“We had a decision to go with somebody who fit better for us under the cap and a younger player,” Jones said. “We just had to make a difficult business decision. ...I think [Steele] is only going to get better and can be a really high-caliber starter at right tackle for us compared to any of the tackles in this league.”

I do think Steele can be a league average type RT. I don't think he was that last year, he got alot more help on that side than we ever gave Collins. However people aren't wrong in saying he was alot better than he was as a rookie. I think he can on par with guys we have had before in Columbo and Free. Guys that are just good enough not to consistently hurt you, but aslo guys that make you wish you had better

In fairness he went from dog**** in 2020 to decent in 2021. On that trajectory he will be All Pro this year.
He was very green in 2020, but Covid Camp probably did him no favors. He improved significantly in 2021, but there are limitations. I dont think he is a fluid enough athlete to be a top quality pass protector. I think he is a starting quality RT, but you may always have to give him some help against top rushers

"Terence Steele can be a really high caliber RT!" - Director of Player Personnel for an NFL team

It's such a joke.
They aren't going to come out and say "This dude is garbage. Straight trash. We're going to start him though and blame him for not trying hard when we trot him out there and he gets exposed."
